A one-year-old child was crushed to death by a reversing lorry in Dandora, Nairobi.

The driver of the lorry, who was leaving for work at around 8am on Wednesday, did not see the child as he reversed out of the parking lot. The child was pronounced dead at the scene.

The lorry has been detained for inspection, and the driver is being questioned by police.

In a separate incident, a beggar was lynched by a mob after he and another man beat to death his colleague in an argument over money.

The incident happened at Alsops River in Roasters area, Nairobi. The two men, who were believed to be good friends, had a disagreement about how to share the day’s collection. The argument escalated, and one of the men beat the other to death.

An angry mob then cornered the first man as he tried to escape, and they beat him to death as well. Police arrived at the scene and took the bodies to the mortuary.

Police are still searching for other suspects who may have been involved in the killing.

Both of these incidents are tragic, and our hearts go out to the families of the victims. We hope that the police will be able to bring the perpetrators to justice.
